Storage of 2kg gas bottles on roof racks?
I've seen lots of brackets and straps for 4kg gas bottles, but what is the best way to secure a 2kg or any of the smaller gas bottles?
Thought about sticking it in a spare milk crate and using straps with some padding around the bottle. Takes up a bit more room than I'd like but should be pretty solid.
What does everyone else do?
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

The 747
Roofy has a little bracket on his roof rack for a gas bottle, hopefully he comes along and sees this.

Just found these guys online. http://www.gbholder.com.au/ Good idea but if carrying a 9kg I prefer to sit it inside a milk crate (fits perfectly) and strap it down. Rhinorack do a strap setup for a 4kg so maybe copy the idea to suit your 2kg, here is a link to it http://www.rhinorack.com.au/products...r-4-0kg-_rgbh4

IMO would be easy enough to fab up a bracket that holds it tight yet allows easy release,
Inside a milk crate sounds good to me

A Milk Crate is fantastic if you need to do any under bonnet maintenance while out on your trip so having it on the roof with your gas bottle in is a winner.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I've heard that storing gas bottles in milk crates causes static. Not sure how true and if it did would that be a problem?
